It did not take long for the NFL office to inform Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator Jason Tarver his actions this past Sunday were out of line.

Tarver gave NFL officials the middle finger twice during a 21-18 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The coach became agitated after Oakland cornerback Mike Jenkins was flagged for hitting a defenseless receiver (Steelers running back Leâ€™Veon Bell) with 8:54 to play in the third quarter. The flag eventually was picked up, but Tarver responded with two middle finger gestures to show his disapproval.

As a result, Tarver was fined by the NFL this past Monday, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport.

The fine for #Raiders DC Jason Tarver was resolved, per source. Team will impose fine in cooperation with @NFL office. No amount disclosed

Tarver apologized for the way he expressed his frustrations prior to the fine. He described his response as being in the “heat of the moment” and regretted taking attention away from Oaklandâ€™s victory.

If Tarverâ€™s response can inspire Oaklandâ€™s defense to play well â€“ five sacks and two interceptions against Pittsburghâ€“ the team should consider creating a â€˜fine jarâ€ for their coach.
